Gameplay[edit]
The player chooses from one of the four Ninja Turtles: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael. Depending on the version of the game, the characters are either, chosen at the start of the game or assigned by control panel. After Shredder kidnaps the Turtles' friend April O'Neil and their mentor Splinter, they must give chase, save their comrades, and defeat the evil Shredder. Up to four players (two in some versions) can take control of any of the Turtles. Donatello has slower attacks but a longer range, Michelangelo and Raphael have faster attacks but a shorter range, and Leonardo is a well-rounded Turtle with average range and speed.
The eight-way joystick controls the movements of the Turtle, the jump button makes them jump and the attack button makes them hit in front of them using their weapon. In addition to this, some combinations are possible. The Turtles can throw Foot soldiers overhead, and by pressing the jump and attack buttons, a special attack is performed. Raphael rolls along the ground and finishes with a kick, while the other Turtles do a sweeping jump attack with their weapons. Turtles can also spring off the wall in certain areas. Enemies can be defeated more quickly by slamming them into walls or solid objects. Many objects such as traffic cones, parking meters, fire hydrants and exploding oil drums can be hit or damaged with attacks in order to help defeat nearby enemies. In the attract mode, the game showed the first part of the cartoon opening, along with a portion of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song.
Most of the enemies the Turtles face are the Foot Soldiers, all color-coded to indicate their attack patterns and weapon of choices. Some enemies, such as the standard purple-clad Foot Soldiers and Roadkill Rodney robots, have the ability to restrain the Turtles' mobility and drain their health, leaving the player open to attack for other enemies. The bosses in the game include Rocksteady and Bebop (individually at first in that order, and later the two of them together), Baxter Stockman, Granitor, General Traag, Krang, and Shredder himself.
Releases[edit]
Arcade[edit]
A printed circuit board of the game.
The arcade game was distributed as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in North America and Oceania, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles in Europe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Super Kame Ninja[a] in Japan. The game was released primarily as a dedicated four-player cabinet in all regions except Japan, where it was sold only as a 2-player conversion kit. 2-player conversion kits of the game were also released in other regions, serving as less expensive alternatives to 4-player cabinets.
Nintendo Entertainment System[edit]
The Snowfield level added to the NES port, with the boss character shown here.
This game was ported to the NES in 1990. This conversion was titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game in order to avoid confusion with the previous NES game based on the franchise.[4] The Japanese Famicom version was simply titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, without a number nor a subtitle, due to the fact that first NES game was localized in Japan under a different title.
This version includes two new levels (the first part of Scene 3 and all of Scene 6), which feature new enemy characters, including two new bosses: Tora (a dog-like 'blizzard beast') and Shogun (a robotic samurai), both characters created for the game. Most of the original stages from the arcade version were extended as well and the second half of Scene 3, the parking garage stage, replaces the arcade version's end battle with Bebop and Rocksteady with a battle against the mutated fly form of Baxter Stockman. The NES version of the game was once slated for release on the WiiVirtual Console, but was quietly canceled. The NES port also appeared in Nintendo's PlayChoice-10 arcade system.
The NES version featured notable product placement advertising: Pizza Hut logos. The rear cover of the instruction manual provided a coupon for one free Personal Pan pizza at the restaurant, with an expiration date of December 31, 1991.[5]
Home computers[edit]
The computer ports of the arcade game were released by Image Works and ported by Probe Software in 1991 for the ZX Spectrum, Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, PC and Commodore 64. The title was changed to Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles: The Coin Op in the European versions.
Xbox Live Arcade[edit]
An Xbox Live Arcade version of the game was released under the name TMNT 1989 Classic Arcade on March 14, 2007, published by Ubisoft and ported by Digital Eclipse.[6] The game was priced at 400 Microsoft Points.[6] Like other classic arcade games on the Xbox 360 platform, portions of the original arcade game were emulated with network code and other new features added. Players could earn achievements as well as play 2-4 player co-op (both online and offline).
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus[edit]
The arcade version of Ninja Turtles is included as a hidden bonus game in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube. The version featured in the game is a port of the original arcade version, but with altered music and most of the voice clips edited out. The game is unlocked by finding an antique in Stage 9-1; the antique turns out to be the original arcade machine.[7]

Lucky gamers scored big if they managed to beat the crowds and snag a copy of Ultra's ultra hot Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game. If you didn't score this Turtles sequel or you've finally defeated the Foot Clan, why not check out the original that started it all back in 1989 -- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
Shelling Out the Action
Shredder has abducted news reporter April O'Neil and every die-hard TMNT fan knows she's the only person who can bring Raphael, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Donatello out of their shells. The Turtles are determined to save April, put an end to ole' Shred-head's worthless existence, and in the process restore their radical rodent martial arts master, Splinter, to his normal human self with the Metal One's Life Transformer Gun.
The heroes in a half shell track Shredder across five incredibly tough levels of turtle-stompin' action through the streets and sewers of New York City and into Shredder's horrific headquarters, the Technodrome. You have to play each of the four Turtles one at a time, but you can switch among them any time. Each Turtle has his own life line, and if it runs out you're captured!
Most of the action in this one-player adventure is displayed in a side view perspective inside sewers and buildings, but in order to find these you stroll the streets via an overhead, bird's eye view.
ProTips:
- Explore the buildings in any order. The only dead ends are buildings 10, 11, and 16.
- The large building in the center of the map is a terrific spot to power-up with pizza between excursions into the caves. You can also rescue a fallen comrade in the passageway under the destructible blocks.
Turtle Power
Naturally, they use the weapons they're famous for, but you can add to their arsenal by grabbing a limited supply of special throwing weapons such as boomerangs and shurikens. Other helpful items that pop up occasionally include energy-restoring pizza, rope for crossing the gaps between buildings, and an item called 'Mr. Invincibility' which makes you temporarily indestructible.
To destroy the Big Mouser stand directly under his steel jaws, use Don's Bo, and hold down Up and push B continuously.
Those Dam Bombs
If the world's most fearsome floating fighters successfully rescue April in the first level, they find out that Shredder has set eight bombs to blow the Hudson River Dam sky-high. In Level Two that makes swimming not sword-fighting skills a must.
- At the start of the underwater section, proceed right and disarm Bomb One. Swim up through the first passage to get Bomb Two. Go back down and right to Bomb Three. Then head up and Bomb Four is to the left. Next, go right to Bomb Five. Up and then right leads to Bomb Six. Go down, then down on the right side, and you find Bomb Seven. Finally, swim down on the left side, then head right to Bomb Eight.
- If your oxygen timer is about to run out, which automatically drowns your entire team, select the weakest Turtle and commit Turtle-cide. That way you only lose one Turtle and the bombs you've disarmed remain inactive.
Keep on Truckin'
The good times really roll in Level Three when the fab four burn some rubber in their Party Wagon. Armed with Anti-Foot Clan Missiles and a rapid-fire Vulcan Cannon, the boys must search through the Big Apple to find Splinter, who was kidnapped while they were off saving the dam.
As you drive the Wagon, press Select to exit and all onscreen Foot Clan soldiers and Roller Cars disappear.
Airport High Jinks
If you rescue Splinter, eat the Foot Clan's lunch, and waste the Mecaturtle, in Level Four you can cruise after Shredder in the Turtle Blimp -- if you can find it. It's somewhere in JFK International Airport, but you'll have to fight through the Clan again to reach it.
Techno Tough
In Level Five, Shredder's getting scared -- you're close to the Technodrome, which is hidden deep within one of four caves. But if you fail the first time around, its location changes every time you play.
Enter the Shredder
The final big brawl broils inside the Technodrome with blaster totin' rocket men and miniature mechanical dinosaurs with whip-lash tails lurking around every comer. All paths lead to the Turtles' arch-nemesis, that 'Edward Scissorhands' reject, Shredder.
- To boat the Technodrome tank wait until the laser switches oft, then jump on the treads and disable the two mini-guns. Now, concentrate on the eyeclops radar, but look out for Foot Soldiers.
- When Shredder attacks, jump onto the right ledge, duck, and use your weapon to knock him away every time he tries to leap onto the left platform. A special weapons such as the Triple Shurikens works great!

Turtle Soup
TMNT is a good blend of side view fighting and overhead map tracking that ought to keep your fingers busy. However, it's got a few dents in its shell.
The absence of a mufti-player option detracts from the whole concept of Turtle togetherness, the overall action is just average, and it's nearly impossible to finish with only two continues. Also, although the Turtles look cool, the Foot Clanners' graphics are a little weak.
Despite these drawbacks, however, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will rank as one of the top-selling NES games of all time. What gives? Turtle power, dudes. When you're hot, you're hot. Cowabunga!
